Troubleshooting

Drive not recognized by computer

Ensure the cable is securely connected to both the drive and the computer. Try a different port on your computer or use the alternate included cable (Thunderbolt or USB-C to USB-A). Check Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility (macOS) to see if the drive appears uninitialized or unallocated.

Slow transfer speeds

Verify that the drive is connected to a Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4, USB4, or USB 3.2 Gen 2 port to achieve maximum speeds. Ensure your computer's operating system and drivers are up to date. Close unnecessary applications that may be consuming system resources.

Drive disconnects unexpectedly

Check cable integrity and connection. Ensure the drive is not overheating; if it feels excessively hot, allow it to cool down. Update your operating system and check for any power management settings that might be causing the disconnection.

Hardware encryption not working

Ensure you are using the correct OS encryption tool (FileVault or BitLocker). Verify that the drive is properly formatted and that you are following the OS-specific instructions for enabling encryption. Consult your OS documentation for detailed steps.
